Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process awarded by the NHS Devon Integrated Care Board involves the provision of all-age autism assessments for patients in Devon. The process falls within the industry category of psychiatrist or psychologist services and is classified as a service procurement. The contract, awarded to Shropshire Autism Service Ltd trading as The Autism Service, was executed through a direct award process without prior publication of a call for competition, adhering to the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023. This decision was made under NHS Devon's Right to Choose Steering Group authority. The contract, valued at a nominal sum for regulatory purposes of £0.01, is scheduled to run from 1st February 2026 until 31st March 2027, with the service location being within the UKK4 region, specifically Devon, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those focusing on psychological assessments and autism-related services. The contract encourages competitive growth without specifying a minimum contract value, thus making it well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as Shropshire Autism Service Ltd. It provides a platform for suppliers looking to establish or expand their footprint in the healthcare sector by delivering quality services that meet patient choice criteria. The absence of a call for competition could appeal to businesses seeking streamlined procurement avenues to secure contracts with healthcare governing bodies.
